Dear Mr Diver


I know that the extended morning tea you gave us was very nice and kind of you. I think you should continue to give us morning tea’s like this as it was an excellent idea. When you were a kid I bet you would have liked an extended morning tea? By continuing to have the extend morning tea on Friday is that it will help students with physical exercise. Another reason to give the extended morning tea the kids will be encouraged to keep getting back to class quickly after the bell. The morning tea will give us longer to have fun and you teachers longer to work and mark some work.


You must give us longer to play because we can have more physical eduction. If we keep on having a extended morning tea it will allow all the kids to get fitter. The parents will start to see a big difference in there child fitness. If you continue to have the extended morning tea.If will have longer to play we are going to get fitter and stronger because we and working out when kids are playing. It will also help the kids focus in assembly because they have used all of there energy so they will not talk. This will make them focus because they will not feel like talking.


We must continue to have extended morning tea’s because it will engorge the kids to get back to class faster because they no there is a reward at the end of the week. The kids will all ways want to get back to class faster because they want that reward. Soon as they hear that bell the kids will start to run back as fast as they can. It will also help kids commutation skills because if the kids see someone not running back to class. They will tell them to start running for the morning tea.


It will be a good thing do continue the extended morning tea because the teachers will have longer to work and mark there work. It will also let the teachers be able to talk and refection on the day. During the morning tea the teachers can also engage in convivial conversation. You teachers can do some work and think plan the week for there kids. This will help the teachers because they can catch up on some work and they will not be so stressed about school work.


Over all I believe that 2011 will be better if the extended morning at the end of the week. Knowing that at the end of the week there is a reward they will all ways go back to class faster. To sum it up I know that everyone would like it and so will all the staff. So give us that extended morning tea every week.

New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone I Know that this world needs to be a nuclear free zone. New zealand is one smart country for being nuclear free. What would you rather do save a little bit of money or save 100s of people lives? If there was ever a natural disaster there would be heaps of fumes in the air. If we allow nuclear power in new zealand we will have to build the rectors and take lots of time. I know that solar power and wind power is a better way to go over nuclear power. We all know about what is happening at Japan and it is all because of nuclear power. With Christchurch having heaps of earthquakes nuclear power will just make everything that much more worse. In the Untied States alone there has already been close to 200 nuclear power plants meltdowns or breakdowns. In 1979 there was a meltdown in Dauphin Country Pennsylvania. It was called the Three Mile Island Accident. We were very lucky because the death toll of the accident was 0! There was 13 million curies of radioactive gases. If we were to have this in New Zealand it will kill lots of people and cause lots of shops having to close down. Do you want to waste your money on building a nuclear power plant or have money to spend on luxuries? Did you know that to build a new rector it will cost 6 to 9 billon dollars. In the time it will take us to build a new rectors there will most likely be lots of more money wasted to restart because there could be lots of meltdowns. It will take about four year or less. Where is the government going to get all the money to build the plants? RIGHT OUT OF YOUR TAX COST. This will mean tax will go up so you might not save as much money as you hope. I know solar and wind power our a much safer and more reliable source of energy. The solar power panels can store up the energy so you will never need to worry about not having any power. Solar energy is a reliable source because it is all ran by the sun. The sun is able to produce enough energy to run everything in the whole world right. Wind power is one of the fastest growing power sources in the world. At the moment wind power supplies around 3% of New Zealand electricity needs. New zealand has 16 wind farms either operating or under construction. New Zealand has to remain a nuclear free zone because nuclear power kills people and cost to much money to build. Solar power and wind power are a much better way to go about New Zealand energy for later life.
